As the more eagle-eyed among you may have noticed already, I reworked the image for the Gab Pay link up top there. One of our most esteemed CF Lifers went to dump a generous donation into the thing recently, only to run into a bit of hassle trying to ascertain what my username might be. So I took that as a sign from God that something needed to be done most ricky-tick, with the result you now see before you. It’s still far from perfect, but hey, it’ll do for now.
And considering the pitiful pittance I receive from Social Security as my sole income now—a very nice staffer-lady from the Brian Rehab Center set it all up for me unsolicited during my nightmarishly extended sojourn there after last year’s near-death experience, bless her kindly heart—anyone who might be tempted to give the revamped linky-doo up there a whirl is heartily encouraged to do so. Thanks, y’all!
Oh yeah, almost forgot: I’ve been thinking of doing as full a write-up as I can manage of that whole experience here, maybe. That is, the parts of it I actually DO remember, some of which memories have been sorta re-injecting themselves into my battered brain of late for whatever damnable reason. It creeps me out, frankly; my mom, brother, and a few others have started in to recount the events for me, and each time I’ve stopped them with a quickness, desperately wanting not to hear any of it. My last trip into the MRI, when I had a full-bore screaming freakout and tried to scratch and claw my one-legged ass out of the infernal machine, was particularly brutal.
On the other hand, maybe getting that stuff out there could turn out to be therapeutic for me, possibly? Exorcise some seriously scary demons by bringing them out of the darkness and into the cold, clear light of day, perhaps? Eh, I dunno. I just figgered I’d put the idea out there, and if y’all are at all interested, I could give it the old college try.
I find that a bit confusing since it says @tommygunmike. I know Gab presents it that way, but you might want to just post the correct email.
Excellent idea there, Barry. Done and done.
I was thinking more along the lines of tommygunmike@_____.com
When you select for the first time a GAB person I think it starts listing all those names that contain the letters in the order you type them. “Mike” is probably going to generate a zillion or so and finding the right Mike will be more difficult as a result, my guess anyway. The tommygunmike address is unique* after you get past tommy and will only come up with your address, I think.
Having both would probably be good. And I may be completely wrong.
*as an email address
Only problem with that is, the mike/cf addy is the only one associated with my Gab account. I have TommyGunMike as my username, but the actual tgm-at-gmail address isn’t involved at all, so I went with the other one. Who the hell knows. 😉
OK, then my mistake. I was thinking it was the gmail addy.
I went to my GAB account to verify how I entered your email and it seems not to work at the moment…
They really need to work on their interface. It’s really confusing IMO.
Ain’t THAT the piss-poor truth. Maybe it’s that I’m more acclimated to the PayPal way of doing things, but it seems like with GP even the terminology has unexpected and baffling meanings. I’m really glad we have Gab and GP available as an alternative to PP, and I’ll do my best to hang in there and support ’em. Just growing pains, maybe. Hope so, anyway.
